Response to Need to know best place to order chicks....

We just had a delivery of chicks that took 3 days to arrive. 16 of the 20 turkeys died within three days. All the leghorns died too. We were told by the hatchery (Belt) that only one airline is now transporting live chicks (Delta, I think), so the time it will take to get to your house depends on how far you are from one of their destinations. In our case the chicks were trucked from northern KY to AR !!! We've had good experience in previous years, and the hatchery was more than willing to reimburse us for the loss, but we probably won't do mail order again. David and Kim
